Gore launches a revolutionary product for high-aerobic end uses: new GORE-TEX® Active products. The new material is a radically new concept that delivers multiple benefits that Gore has never addressed in this manner before. The material’s permanent water beading surface eliminates the need for a face fabric, which makes it the lightest and most breathable GORE-TEX® product to date. Additionally, the user does not experience the chilling effect or long dry times, which are typically associated with a wetted out, face fabric.
